UWG Hosts Debate Tourney

UWG debaters Marcel Bartolomy and La'Jewel Wyatt were undefeated at the tournament and were named the Top Novice Team. Wyatt earned 1st place at the event in the individual speaker category.

Over the weekend, UWG hosted more than 20 debate teams representing six schools: UGA, Georgia State, Samford, Florida State University, University of Florida and UWG.

Teams spent the day debating each other in four rounds.

This season’s resolutions is “The United States Federal Government should establish a domestic climate policy, including at least substantially increasing restrictions on private sector emissions of greenhouse gases in the United States.”

All teams at the event were arguing either in the negative or the affirmative for this position.

The event gave UWG students in the Communications 1115 class an opportunity to compete in their first debate and gain hands-on experience as undergraduates.
